Every year, Housing Works whose mission is: "a healing community of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Our mission is to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain our efforts." presents New City most popular interior design benefit. 50 of the world's top interior designers create vignettes with merchandise that is donated by vendors and then sold 50 to 70 off retail.

Interieurs always participates and this year Dering Hall set up a booth and Steven Gambrel put his magic touch to it... As a member of Dering Hall we donated a double chaise sofa as the anchor piece. This will (hopefully) sell at 20% of its value!!

It was a packed event which resulted in poor quality pictures from my iPhone... But otherwise a great fun evening. I shopped, met fellow designers returning from the Design Leadership Summit in Marrakech, where we all had such a fabulous time, chatted with designers manning their booths... I think next year.... I will set up booth myself.

I definitely love VOGUE. Everybody who is interested on fashion reads that magazine. The best designers write there and the best photo shoots can be found. Last year I won a contest that gave me a stay in different apartments in Buenos Aires to be present at an interview for VOGUE. It was the best trip ever!
